It produces some of the most closely watched economic statistics, which provide a comprehensive, up-to-date picture of the U.S. economy, and are key ingredients in critical decisions affecting monetary policy, tax and budget projections, and business investment plans. The cornerstone of BEA's statistics is the national income and product accounts (NIPAs), which feature the estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) and related measures.
